Sorry, I hate it when people ask questions and don’t give enough info to answer them.

Yup, a daily occurance for me...

I’m using an Epson 2200 with MIS Pro color inks on Premier Fine Art 270 paper

Okay. The 2200 is nice an neutral in the dark zone because it uses gray ink to print there. Its off in the light zone because it mixes all light grays using light Cyan, light Magenta, and Yellow inks. MIS color inks make this a bit worse, actually. The fix for this is: to buy a 2400. Short of that, every light source is going to give you differing neutrality results. You may well have an issue beyond those noted here, but you are not going to get satisfying, consistantly neutral results from a 2200 and color inks.
